Foscam C1 V2 "authentication failed (method LOGIN)"

[panoss]

Hi everybody.
I have a Fostec C1 V2 camera.

System firmware version 1.9.3.18
Application firmware version 2.52.2.50
Plug in version: 5.1.0.12

Smtp server: smtp.gmail.com
Smtp port: 465
Transport layer security: TLS
Need authedication: Yes
Smtp account: pano****2@gmail.com
Smtp password: **
Mail sender: pano****2@gmail.com

I cannot make it to send email alarms. (It worked fine till 10th of October, suddenly it stopped on that day!!)
I have gmail (now) but I 've also tried with other web emails and I get the same result when I click on the test button:

• "authentication failed (method LOGIN)" when I do it on the browser
• "User does not have permission to perform the requested operation" when I do it in the application (VMS)

Is there a way to fix it?
